The Taiwan Prison Ministry reaches out to Vietnamese people in Taiwan through church fellowships and activities in prison, such as worship services, discipleship, and Bible memorization contests.

Dear Agape Fish Fund,

First of all we would like to express our appreciation for your hearty support of our ministry through both finances and prayer.

We want to inform you how your support has helped the Taiwan Prison Ministry.

1) Compassion Fund: Supplemental Food and Prizes

Every so often the Taipei prison releases a number of inmates who have finished their jail term or who are on parole. However, new inmates continue to come and replace the released ones. Therefore, the number of inmates continues to be at least a hundred people.

Part of your donation goes toward our compassion fund for the inmates, which enables us to do the following:

Celebrate birthdays with birthday cake

Cook supplemental food once in a while

Provide prizes for Scripture memorization contest

The extra acts of kindness such as providing birthday cakes and supplement food has a great impact on the prison ministry. Lots of inmates write to express their appreciation for our love and care. As a result, their hearts are open and receptive. We often have new conversions and baptism for inmates who have finished our discipleship program.

The Bible verse memorization contest helps the active believers to develop self-control for life change and minimize disciplinary consequences. According to the prison’s policy, the inmates who have good behavior records can be eligible for parole sooner. This rule has been applied to a number of converted inmates who were released recently.

2) Assistant Worker Support: Sister Diep

Your funding is also used to reimburse our assistant worker, Sister Diep, for her working time lost and for her weekly transportation to the prison. She is a faithful member of our church who has been assisting with our prison ministry for about three years. Adding Sister Diep to our prison ministry team helps us implement the discipleship program more effectively, although it is still behind the demand.

​We are thankful for your financial support of our ministry. Your generosity helps increase the effectiveness of our prison ministry. May God’s will be done in our ministry and in the lives of the people whom we are serving.May God bless your compassionate ministry richly.
